Twice Today, I Have Heard Your Name Poem by Serina Alonzo

Twice Today, I Have Heard Your Name



There’s a sound that I hear that is loud in my ear,
And that sound is the sound of your name, my dear.
Past the crowds, down the hall, a subdued distant voice
Travels waves, resonates, calls above the noise.
Twice today, I had heard the same sound once again,
And I’d known that I’d missed you a lot since then.
First I heard was a group of young men in a game;
They had mentioned your name just before you came.
So I hoped that, again, I would hear what I’d heard;
I was keen to have heard a familiar word.
Then I saw, from behind, where you were, a lone star.
There you were, he whose name I’d heard from afar.
Overjoyed, I came near with good tales up my sleeve,
But the hour sped too fast, and you had to leave.
In my head, I had said, “Do not leave, please, not yet, ”
But you left, anyway, though you would regret:
For the next that I heard was a girl dressed in white;
She had asked where you were—you were gone from sight.
